For Sale: 1964 Chevrolet El Camino in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1964 Chevrolet El Camino

The El Camino was a direct challenge to Ford's Ranchero, a utility coupe dominating a previously untapped market. GM flirted with coupe type trucks such as the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier and the GMC Suburban Carrier in 1955, but they went all in with the El Camino for the 1959 model year. After dropping the axe on the original model GM decided to bring it back in 1964 as version 2 which lasted until 1967.

For consignment, a 1964 Chevrolet El Camino pickup showing 48,276 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car is in original condition with newer paint in the original color applied in 2023 and some interior refurbishing as well. We've represented dozens of El Caminos over the years but this is only the second 1964 and this one is a doozie!

Exterior
Now in two stage Almond Fawn paint, the exterior is augmented with Desert Beige on the cabin roof and B-pillar. The simplicity of the grille, quad headlights and straight front bumper is spectacular and it all presents in excellent condition. As we swing to the back, tail lights contour and repeat the shape of the metal around it, a design detail that is worthy of a trophy on its own. Meanwhile, more clean chrome on the rear bumper and on the two exhaust tips that protrude past it. The bed was not repainted, according to our consignor, but is in very nice shape, shows a touch of use and has a few dings. The trim around the window is consistent with the metalwork on the car and by that we mean mighty fine and the 15-inch Chevrolet Rally wheels are like four cherries on top, each wrapped in white wall tires. The only imperfection is some evidence of filler under the left tail light.

Interior
Inside, we have a combination of restored elements, new pieces such as the case with the handsome door panels, and unrestored original components. The split bench seat, in Medium Fawn, combines retied springs, new foam, factory vinyl covers, and original chrome side bars, and it all looks great. The restored original steering wheel fronts a new chrome gauge cluster with new or rebuilt gauges and along with the AM/FM/Cassette radio, is ready for show. New OEM carpet floods the floors with knit tan perfection and is topped by clear plastic floor mats, just like your grandfather had, with the appropriate yellowing. The stitched headliner is tight and intact and shows just blemishes as does one of the new visors. Overall, about as close to showroom fresh as you'll find.

Drivetrain
The show continues under the hood where a 283ci L77 V8 resides with high compression heads and an output of 220 horsepower, fueled by a 4-barrel carburetor and expelling spent gas through factory optioned hi performance manifolds. The bay is spotless and the engine has chrome valve covers and air filter case along with a bright orange painted block. A Powerglide 2-speed automatic is behind it sending power to the 10 bolt rear.

Undercarriage
This is what you might call a tabletop undercarriage, because you can practically eat off it. Dual exhaust finds their way to glasspack style mufflers, then head to the back to exit via chrome tips. Four wheel power drum brakes are on board and suspension consists of coil springs up front and a 4 link with coil springs in back. Clean black surfaces and an oil free environment create a fine looking belly.

Drive-Ability
A pump of the gas and a turn of the key and the 283 fires up and sounds great doing it. A flick of the column shifter and we're in Drive and circling our test loop with good power, straight tracking, fantastic visibility, and braking on demand. This well sorted car does everything well and all functions operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

More than 30,000 El Caminos were made in 1964 but when was the last time you saw one? They were likely used and put away wet and not many survive. This is one stunner of an example, an absolute show stopper, and if you're an El Camino junkie, this is a must have. Classic lines, great paint, near flawless interior, show ready engine bay, clean belly. What more do you need?
